TABLE 13. GLOSSARY OF HIGAIN TERMS
Term
Definition
MARGIN
Indicates the excess signal to noise ratio, at either the HRU-412 or HLU-232 List 1D
HDSL ports, relative to a 10
-7
Bit Error Rate. 1st value is current margin, 2nd value is
minimum margin since (C)leared last, 3rd value is maximum value since cleared. NA
means Not Available (loop is not in sync). The normal range of a typical margin is from
22 to 6 dB.
PULSE ATTN
Indicates the attenuation of the 2B1Q pulse from the distant end. The HiGain system
operates with pulse attenuations in excess of 30 dB. This value is related to the cable
pairs’ 196 kHz loss. The pulse attenuation is a more direct indication of the loop
attenuation to the 2B1Q signal than the 196 kHz loss. The normal range of pulse
attenuation is from 1 to 28 dB.
PPM OFFSET
Indicates the relative offset of the crystal oscillator in the HRU-412 from the HLU-232 List
1D crystal oscillator. Any value between -100 and +100 is adequate. Values outside this
range indicate out of tolerance components or excessive temperature drift in critical
components.
HDSL 24 Hour ES
(Errored Seconds)
The number of 1 second intervals that contained at least 1 CRC error. This value is a
running total of the last 24 Hours.
HDSL 24 Hour UAS
(Unavailable
Seconds)
The number of seconds the HDSL loop was out of sync.
DS1 BPV Seconds
(ES)
The number of seconds in which at least 1 bipolar violation was detected on the DS1
input.
DS1 UAS Count
The number of seconds during which the DS1 input signal was absent (125 or more
consecutive zeros).
Frame type
Type of DS1 framing used on the input stream (SF, ESF, Unframed or No Activity).
Code type
Type of DS1 line coding used (AMI, B8ZS, AMI : ZBTSI or B8ZS : ZBTSI). The latter two
conditions indicate the code type that is being received when the HiGain system is set to
its ZBTS mode. In either the AMI or B8ZS DS1 code mode, the Code type displays the
selected code as opposed to the code type that is actually being received, which is what
is displayed when set to AUTO code mode.
HLU/Ver w.x-yyyy
“w.x” = software version number of the HLU-232 List 1D. “yyyy” = list # of HLU-232 List
1D.
HRU/Ver a.b-cccc
“a.b” = software version number of the HRU-412. “cccc” = list # of HRU-412.
